We're SO lucky to have an ALL TIME favorite back on the show! Say hello to Deborah Hanlon! When you're done with this episode, visit her website and buy her book! Click here > Buy "ReAssembling Yourself" Here!  Grief doesn’t only show up at funerals. Sometimes it shows up when you sign divorce papers, become a parent and lose your old identity, hit perimenopause and don’t recognize your own mood, or realize midlife isn’t going to look like the plan you made at 25. We sit down with returning guest Deborah Hanlon, author of Reassembling Yourself: Turning Grief into Growth, and she gives us language for what so many people feel but can’t explain.Deborah breaks grief down into what she calls micro-griefs the “small” moments that get stored in the body and stack up over time. When a bigger life event hits, it can pop the whole backlog open, which is why you can feel wrecked and think, Why am I reacting like this? We also dig into her grief alchemy framework of nine nonlinear phases, including the drop, the fog of the days, the cocoon, and the one that hits home hardest: the goo phase. Goo is that in-between where you’re not who you were, you’re not who you’ll become, and the most healing move is often giving yourself permission to not know.Then we shift into Deborah’s approach to mediumship and energy with a grounded, science minded lens on consciousness and healing, not ghost stories or fear. We talk self-trust, boundaries, people pleasing, and why guided meditation can be a real starting point when your mind won’t shut off and your nervous system feels fried.If you get something out of this conversation, share it with a friend who’s quietly in goo, subscribe so you don’t miss the follow-up, and leave a review with the phase you’re in right now.

A “sleep gummy” sounds harmless until you misread the moment, take more because you “feel nothing”, and suddenly you are holding the wall on the way to bed convinced you are seeing sounds. We get very real about marijuana, THC edibles, CBD products, and the gap between what people claim cannabis does and what it actually feels like when the dose, the strain, or your mindset is off.We start at the policy level, asking whether marijuana should be legal in places like Indiana when so many people already buy across state lines, and why alcohol gets a cultural pass while cannabis stays controversial. From there we dig into the medical marijuana conversation: sleep support, chronic pain, anxiety relief, nausea and appetite, and where placebo might be part of the story. We also face the darker side without preaching, including panic, paranoia, impaired memory, dependency, and why heavy use in adolescence raises different brain development concerns, including the still-developing prefrontal cortex.Then we flip into our relationship advice segment and somehow get even more unfiltered: kids who can sense bedroom doors closing, a pregnancy with four possible fathers, and a very awkward ER trip that raises a simple question about partners and emotional support. If you like honest debate, uncomfortable laughs, and practical takes you can argue with, this one hits.Subscribe, share it with a friend who has strong opinions about weed, and leave a review with your take: helpful medicine, risky escape, or both?

Time doesn’t just move faster as you get older, it starts changing how you see everything: work, money, parenting, and even the way people talk to each other. We sit down as a Gen X husband alongside two Millennials and use that mix to dig into the real, everyday generational differences that people love to argue about, from “analog childhoods” to “always-online” life.We get into technology and media exposure, including what it meant to grow up with landlines, dial-up internet, and shared pop culture, then watch social media become the default. From there, we connect the dots to communication styles, stress, and why Gen Z and Gen Alpha feel like they’re living in a different operating system. We also talk about formative events and economic shocks, including 9/11, the Great Recession, and how those moments shaped career choices, risk tolerance, and what “stability” even means now.Then we zoom in on the pressure points: student loan debt, the value of college, hiring that’s shifting toward skills, and the gig economy’s promise and trap. We also unpack housing affordability, childcare costs, and why dual-income families can still feel underwater. Finally, we lighten it up with our Relationship Advice segment, covering slug bug bruises, thermostat wars, and the legendary thong that refuses retirement, because the small stuff is usually about respect.If you laughed, cringed, or felt personally attacked, you’re our people.

A TikTok “must-have” turns into a full-body lesson in skepticism when a viral hair removal spray works perfectly on legs and then turns brutally painful in a much more sensitive area. We laugh because it’s absurd, but we also slow down to pull out the real point: social media marketing is engineered to make products feel proven, and the algorithm does not care if you get hurt. If you’ve ever bought something because you saw it 20 times in a row, you’ll feel seen.Then we pivot into the heavy stuff: artificial intelligence, AI safety, and why the same people who helped build today’s AI models are asking governments to regulate them. We react to stories about AI behaving in unexpected ways, the “arms race” pressure that makes companies ship fast, and the uncomfortable truth that these tools can sound confident while being wrong. Along the way, we share how we actually use ChatGPT, Grok, and Google Gemini to write emails, clean up tone, create posts, and save time, plus why you still have to verify everything.We also talk about AI in education, cheating traps teachers use, and how technology affects kids’ handwriting, fine motor skills, and basic social practice. Finally, we get into the most unsettling corner: AI relationships, catfishing, and reported cases where chatbots interacted dangerously with teens in crisis. We end with practical parenting guardrails and tools that help you monitor devices without flying blind.If this made you think, laugh, or worry a little, subscribe, share it with a friend, and leave a review.

Some relationship problems explode. Most just drip, day after day, until you wake up wondering why you feel more like roommates than partners. We sit down as Denny, Amanda, Jams, and Brittany and get honest about the small habits that quietly wreck trust and connection, even when nobody is “the bad guy.”We react to a therapist’s list of relationship-damaging behaviors and then dig into Dr John Gottman’s Four Horsemen of communication: criticism, contempt, defensiveness, and stonewalling. We talk about why passive aggression feels safer than honesty, why keeping score turns love into a competition, and how shutting down in a fight can feel peaceful to one person but brutal to the other. Then we zoom out to real-life triggers: quality time that gets replaced by phone screens, affection that fades, secretive behavior that sets off “let me see that phone,” and the slow slide into logistics-only living.Things get even more personal when we define non-negotiables, roast the domestic quirks that start unnecessary wars, and ask whether people sometimes chase passion through conflict because calm feels like neglect. Finally, we read listener letters: waiting years for a proposal, seeing hurtful texts from a partner’s mom, and navigating bedroom insecurity without cruelty.If you’ve ever thought “Is this a red flag or just real life?” you’ll feel seen here.

A phone ban sounds like an easy fix until you picture the real school day: crowded hallways, stressed staff, anxious kids, and parents trying to solve problems in real time. We sit down as a family crew and pull in a school teacher perspective to debate the cell phone ban in schools from every angle, including why “bell to bell” rules hit different when you’ve watched a pickup go sideways or a kid miss the bus.We get into the classroom reality of distractions, enforcement, and how quickly students find workarounds. Then we hit the big contradiction nobody wants to say out loud: schools can ban phones while still relying on school-issued iPads and apps that keep kids on screens anyway. We talk cyberbullying, social pressure, and the mental health upside some bans claim, while also asking whether bans teach self-control or just postpone the skill of digital self-regulation.If you’re a parent, teacher, or just someone trying to make sense of modern school policies, you’ll walk away with clearer trade-offs and better questions to ask your district.

The internet can turn a tragedy into a team sport, and the Lindsay Clancy case is a brutal example of how fast that happens. One minute you’re reading the reported facts of a murder trial, the next minute TikTok is sure the husband did it, the comments are raising money, and “evidence” gets reposted without context until it feels like truth. We walk through the timeline being discussed in court, the claims around postpartum mental illness, and why postpartum psychosis is not interchangeable with postpartum depression. We also talk about what happens when people try to reverse-engineer motive from fragments: Apple Watch heart rate claims, medication changes, hypothermia questions, and why the court of public opinion is a terrible place to decide what’s real. Along the way we even test the temptation to “just ask AI,” and why faster answers still need human skepticism. After the heavy stuff, we lighten the mood with "Relationship Advice with Ams and Jams" segment. We get blunt about a partner who disrespects wait staff, we talk through the awkward moment of finding a sex toy in a nightstand, and we break down what it means when a best friend keeps pulling someone into late nights and bad choices. If you like true crime conversations that also dig into mental health, media literacy, and real-world boundaries, hit play.

Cheating rarely starts with a kiss. It starts with the little stuff people swear “doesn’t mean anything,” until it does. We grab a TikTok-style scenario game and put our own relationships on the line, arguing whether each situation is cheating or “just” disrespect. Flirty coworker chats, liking an ex’s photos, hiding your phone, weekend trips with an opposite sex friend, secret work spouses, thirst traps, dating apps for “ego,” and the classic 3 a.m. no-text mystery all land on the table, and nobody gets to stay neutral for long. We also get into the fight that never really ends: emotional cheating versus physical cheating. What counts as betrayal when nothing “happened” but your partner is investing their real attention somewhere else? We dig into secrecy, omission, and why defensiveness is often the loudest red flag, plus the difference between privacy and hiding. If you’ve ever asked yourself where the line actually is, you’ll hear multiple answers and probably argue with us out loud. Then we switch gears into relationship advice letters that go from funny to wildly honest: a partner who farts constantly and kills the mood, a moderately successful OnlyFans hidden behind a fake Etsy scarf business, and a husband who wants to experiment with “receiving” but fears being judged. We keep it blunt, we keep it real, and we keep coming back to the same takeaway: talk early, ask for consent, and stop pretending silence protects the relationship.

A single question can expose everything: Who really has power in your relationship, and what happens when that power gets used against you? We start with the chaotic family-and-friends energy you expect from My Wife My Ex-Wife and ME, then slide into the surprisingly real stuff: teacher burnout, summer schedules, grocery shopping fights, budgeting stress, and the small daily frictions that reveal who’s carrying the mental load at home. Next, we run a rapid set of relationship questions that turn into mini personality tests. What’s your warning label? What should nobody ever put you in charge of? What excuse do you use when you don’t want to show up? Between the jokes, we land on real themes like boundaries, anxiety, conflict style, and the difference between “funny honest” and “hurtful honest.” Then we open the advice mailbag and things get messy fast. There’s a mother-in-law offering to pay for a wedding dress only if she controls the color, a sister texting a husband behind someone’s back, and a wife spiraling after a reckless hookup with an AC repairman. We talk through what “keeping the peace” actually costs, how to confront betrayal without blowing up your support system, and why therapy sometimes needs to come before confession.

A threesome that was supposed to be a “spice things up” moment turns into a full-blown emotional reckoning, and that’s only one of the relationship letters we tackle with Brittany and Kenny stepping in while Jams is away. We keep it funny, but we don’t dodge the hard parts: what happens when novelty feels stronger than commitment, when texting becomes secrecy, and when you suddenly realize you want something you can’t un-want. We also lighten the mood with a rapid-fire round of favorites that somehow turns into a personality test in disguise: days off, seasons, shower songs, social media doomscrolling, cuss words, and the month you’d live in forever. Along the way we revive Denny’s Wild and Wacky Stay Married Tips, argue about gardens and deadlines, and prove that friendship roasting can still be genuine support when life is chaotic. Then we dive into boundaries and betrayal with three letters that hit major search topics like marriage advice, threesomes, emotional affairs, cheating, and in-law dynamics. If you’ve ever wondered where “harmless” ends and real damage begins, you’ll hear us debate honesty, consequences, and the uncomfortable truth that some problems don’t fix themselves with time.

You know that moment when summer is almost here and you realize you planned exactly nothing? That’s where we start, with the school countdown, the yearly promise to “do more,” and the very real problem of trying to create family memories without turning your time off into a second job. We get practical about summer planning and family vacation ideas that actually fit real life: pick a short bucket list, decide whether the vibe is restful or adventurous, and set a budget that includes the costs that sneak up on you, especially food and travel. We talk kayaking, camping, Silver Beach, and the dream of renting a houseboat, plus why shared calendars and a loose routine can protect your plans without crushing spontaneity. Then we pivot hard into "Relationship Advice with Ams and Jams", featuring a first for our show: we get letters from both sides of the same awkward situation. A hardworking husband comes home early with burgers and accidentally walks in on his wife having “me time,” and suddenly they’re both drowning in shame, insecurity, and silence. We break down how to talk about sex, privacy, and decompression without letting it fester. We also tackle the classic dinner problem where one partner refuses to choose but complains the entire time, and why that pattern is really about negativity and responsibility.

You can tell a lot about a relationship by how people fight about chores. Not the big, dramatic fights either, the tiny daily ones: the counter that “was wiped,” the laundry that never makes it out of the basket, the car that somehow always has no gas, and the kid mess that appears five minutes after you cleaned. We sit down as a wife, an ex-wife, and the guy who thought putting both in a studio was a good idea, and we get honest about what household chores really represent: respect, mental load, and whether you feel like you’re doing life with a partner or for a partner. We dig into practical ways to divide household labor without turning your home into a scoreboard. That includes why kids need age-appropriate chores, how paying for tasks can motivate without spoiling, and why “invisible labor” matters as much as mopping and dishes. We also talk cleanliness standards, how to set expectations without sounding like a parent, and why schedules help until real life blows them up. If you’ve ever thought, “I shouldn’t have to ask,” or “If you tell me to do it, I won’t,” you’ll recognize yourself fast. Then we pivot into our advice segment with three situations that escalate quickly: a spouse finds an unopened box of condoms in a glove box after years of monogamy, a Labrador refuses to leave the bed during intimacy, and a husband with binoculars crosses into neighbor-watching territory. We break down what’s harmless, what’s suspicious, and what’s a straight-up boundary problem, with the kind of blunt honesty you’d expect from people who’ve already been through the hard stuff. If this made you laugh, cringe, or rethink your own division of labor, subscribe, share the episode with a friend who needs it, and leave a review so more people can find the show.

The fastest way to reveal someone’s personality is to hand them a microphone, a score sheet, and a stack of “useless trivia” questions. We kick things off with our signature chaos, then launch into a wife vs ex-wife vs Kenny Farmer showdown where the facts get weird fast. Think Navy-trained dolphins, cookie history, cartoon name reveals, and the kind of Disney trivia that turns into high-stakes bargaining. The score changes, the rules bend, and somehow the banter gets even louder than the answers. But we don’t stop at laughs. We pivot into "Relationship Advice With Ams And Jams", where real listener letters force real relationship skills: how to ask your spouse for more creativity in the bedroom without making them feel pressured or “not enough”, how to bring up a boyfriend’s dog whose farts are ruining date night without starting a fight, and what to do when a brother-in-law crosses a line and the fallout could hit the whole family. It’s messy, honest, and focused on what actually helps: clear language, firm boundaries, and not turning discomfort into drama. If you love a funny podcast with sharp chemistry, relationship advice you can actually use, and the kind of marriage communication talk that sounds like real people, you’re in the right place.

The end of a relationship usually doesn’t arrive with a single explosion. It creeps in through patterns you can feel but can’t always name and that’s what we get into, loudly, honestly, and with Kenny in the studio to stir the pot right along with us. We talk through the classic predictors of divorce like criticism, contempt, defensiveness, and stonewalling, plus the quieter one that scares us the most: emotional disengagement. When someone stops fighting, stops trying to resolve conflict, and starts living on autopilot, the relationship can be “over” long before the paperwork shows up. We also dig into what happens when couples build separate lives under the same roof, when intimacy and affection disappear, and how mistrust and constant negativity turn home into a stress test. Then we argue about the sentence that can either be a healthy boundary or a relationship grenade: “I’m not responsible for your feelings.” Where’s the line between owning your actions and managing someone else’s reactions? We also hit the serious stuff, including abuse and why safety and support systems come first, especially when kids are involved and planning an exit takes time. To close it out, we take relationship advice questions that go from awkward to outrageous and somehow still pull real takeaways from the chaos.

A wife and an ex-wife sit down at the same table and somehow nobody gets arrested, which already feels like a win. We start with the kind of chaotic, lived-in banter you only get from people who know each other too well: music choices, country debates, spring break energy, and travel plans that turn into a surprisingly honest talk about stress, timing, and how couples actually make decisions when money and schedules get tight. Then we stumble into a side conversation about romance audiobooks and “smut,” and it opens a door to something bigger: expectations. What’s fun fantasy, what becomes pressure, and how do you keep desire and communication healthy without letting media rewrite what you think love should look like? If you’re into relationship advice, dating conversations, and modern intimacy topics, this part hits more truth than you expect. The core of the night is a relationship Would You Rather game that exposes everyone’s default settings: late versus forgetful, romantic versus practical, spontaneous versus planned, and whether you hash it out now or sleep on it. We get into honesty vs kindness, work-life balance vs ambition, privacy vs oversharing, and why money fights can erode trust faster than almost anything. It’s funny, but it’s also the kind of compatibility check you can steal for your next date night. We close with listener letters that swing hard into real-world relationship problems: resenting a partner’s child in a blended family, intrusive thoughts about cheating, and marriage habits that kill attraction and respect. If you’ve ever wondered what boundaries should be non-negotiable, this is the conversation.
